photos of inanimate objects by jordan (age 14) and lea (age 40). we take pictures almost everyday (jordan with a nikon and lea with a canon). we are not related (jordan's mom was lea's college roommate) and we live in different states. we don't plan the photo pairings. it is cool to see if they "match up". so...can you guess which photo was taken by the 14 year old and which was taken by the 40 year old? record your guess by commenting, then check back in a day or two to see if you were right!

more weekend words

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.

I think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it.

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer.

You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things.

But in photography everything is so ordinary;

it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.

{david baile}

learning to see the ordinary, learning to really look at the world, to find beauty all around me, the see the Hand of the Creator... this is what i learn every time i pick up a camera. seeing life larger when i look through a lens. why is it that as i narrow my view, it actually widens? is the narrow path actually the larger one? freedom through bondage. hmm, sounds familiar.

enter through the narrow gate...

small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.
